Red Cross Partners with Green Chair Project, Catholic Charities

Posted 2013-07-12

In partnership with the American Red Cross and Catholic Charities, the Green Chair project will hold a furniture drive for families affected by the recent flooding in Chapel Hill.

On Sunday June 30, flash floods ravaged more than 160 homes in Orange County. Finally, those families are beginning to put their lives back together, and furniture donations through the Green Chair Project will help them replace the furnishings that they have lost and make their houses feel like home again.

On Friday, July 12, Green Chair project will be serving the first of the families affected by flooding in Chapel Hill from their office in Raleigh.

Donations will help those affected by the recent flooding in Chapel Hill re-build their lives by donating your gently-used household furnishings:

The Green Chair Project provides the following items for those in need.

Dressers

Bed frames and headboards (We DO NOT accept mattresses)

Couches, love-seats (We DO NOT accept sleeper sofas, nor futons, NOR upholstery in need of repair, NOR with pet damage, signs of pests or other infestation)

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.
